Closer look revealed that the latest vendor version (0.84) includes files under
different license (BSD no advertising, 3 clause). Given that these sources are
not possible to be split to a different package, i'll change the license to the
multiple scenario (GPLv2 and BSD).

I've also found that the vendor doesn't install the license files (as well as
changelog and readme) at documents area which i'll add in the next release.

So i'm waiting your reply on the naming (whether to add "torque" somewhere or
not) and i'll build the new pkg/spec.
